Fairy Day 2012

"Fairy Day is an annual holiday where those souls who love all things fairy can celebrate our interest in this mythical and magical genre. It is also a time to celebrate nature and our environment, and just shamelessly BE a fairy!

June 24th, close to the northern hemispheres Midsummers Eve, is a magical time of year long celebrated for its link to the fairy world."

Some Ideas for Celebrating the Magic on Fairy Day!

•Have a banquet lunch outdoors with friends and family in a beautiful natural setting!
•Plant some fairy favourites in your garden- St Johns wort, Blue Bells,Clover and Foxglove are all loved by fairies!
•Light a small bonfire, or candle at night (remember fire safety first!)
•Stay out late on Midsummers Eve! Look for Will-o-wisps, Midsummers is the best time to see them. Be careful not to chase them though, they are not always friendly.
•Pick a bouquet of 9 flowers and put it under your pillow at night to dream of love and magic.
•Look for fairy rings and oak trees.
•Create a candle boat! Build a small paper boat and fill it with flowers, then light a small candle in it and set it adrift (again, remember fire safety first!).
•Make yourself a daisy chain necklace!
•Dress in all your fairy finery and sprinkle fairy dust where ever you go!

Deanna:You could always do the things yourself; you don't need kids to have fun! ;)

Rita:I only learned it was actually a seporate day to the Summer Solstice a couple of years ago; I'd thought it was just another name for the Solstice what with it happening around the same time. I like the idea of a special fairy honouring day though! As for what I was doing... Due to medical issues I missed out on celebrating... I'm planning to do a post tomorrow that will explain what I mean.
